HOSPAC

HOSPAC is a membership political action committee, organized and supported by persons who support the improvement of healthcare in West Virginia, and who support hospitals and their role in improving health care. HOSPAC is a voluntary, non-profit, non-partisan organization whose purpose is to provide financial support to candidates for election in West Virginia, and to support issues and measures that improve healthcare in West Virginia.
